WAKEY WAKEY!

[NewClaret]

Shearer & Wright as perplexed as us as to why that wasn’t a foul/red.

Vydra’s miss was worse than I thought. Weak side foot effort. If he’d put his laces through that it’s a certain goal.

[IanMcL]

Prem rules again....not Burnley.

As much as I like Vydra, he's just not a good goal scorer.

Any decent Burnley forward over the last 10 years, scores that at the end.

[chipbutty]

If that was Benteke or Zaha they would have buried that chance and won the game.

Yawn.

Yep, sadly. I like him & he offers something we don’t otherwise have, but doesn’t score enough of his chances.

Hope we go in for Tyrese Campbell in January- he looks a finisher!

[IanMcL]

Yawn.

They are very consistent with it. Time you had some doubts about it all too!

Terrible attempt at a finish. It was basically a scuff.
Should have taken the net off.
Keeper shouldn't have seen it.

I too like Vyds, but his finishing leaves a lot to be desired.
Which is why his arse is usually plonked on the bench.

[Woodleyclaret]

Give Vyds a break ,a great take down a nanosecond to shoot and a very good save by the keeper

I'm one who doesn't get on the backs of any player wearing our shirt but, he's cost us 4 points with two last minute chance in consecutive games. Strikers are paid to put the ball in the back of the net!

[Dark Cloud]

Tend to agree as in Vydra consistently shows great movement, pace and control and defenses don't like him, especially because he's so different to what they expect from Burnley. His take down at the end was brilliant, BUT he's paid to then bang it in the net and he didn't and that's been his problem throughout his time with us unfortunately.

[joey13]

Barnes scores there , weak shot two games running

[arise_sir_charge]

Let’s not be silly. Vydra should score but Barnes wouldn’t be anywhere near creating that chance never mind finishing it!

[Lancasterclaret]

This (sadly)

[Rowls]

Let’s not be silly. Vydra should score but Barnes wouldn’t be anywhere near creating that chance never mind finishing it!

Vydra's first touch was first class. Barnes might not have had the deftness to do that.

However, Barnes might well have thwacked it into the back of the net.

Both players have their strengths. Neither of them is a Ronaldo, Messi, Greenwood or Foden and that's why they're playing for Burnley.

What difference does it make? Vydra didn’t score the chance anyway.

Vydra has been such a waste of money at 15m. Need to improve on him in January. As the other poster mentioned Tyrese Campbell would be a great signing

15m? You just making stuff up now

[PaintYorkClaretnBlue]

I can’t believe that cornet’s goal wasn’t mentioned in the analysis.

[RVclaret]

Just to add, seen as though you think Tyrese Campbell should be targeted - he has 16 goals in 61 championship appearances. Pretty sure Vydra’s record in that league was better.

Tyrese scored them goals when he was 18 and 19.
Vydra scored his goals later in his career. Campbell is a much better striker.

[claretandy]

I think he was unfortunate, if you watch it close up in slow motion, he hits it just as the ball lands on the second bounce, and scuffs it, even scuffed he hit it too close to the keeper though.

[wilks_bfc]

Just caught up in MOTD

Disappointed they didn’t show the Tarky incident (they would have done if either he or Zaha had got a second yellow later on)

[Terrier]

Hero at chelsea a few wk back and now not good enough.

Erm, I was responding to a comment saying Barnes would have scored it.

I’ll apply your logic instead and change my post to say “no he wouldn’t he was sat down 60 yards away”.

Is that better?

The flip side being he was in the right place at the right time to knick the equaliser at Chelsea. I'll cut him a bit of slack for yesterday because it was a sublime touch to create the chance for himself in the 1st place

[bobinho]

Barnes scores there , weak shot two games running

Barnes doesn’t even get there these days…. He’d still be picking himself up from the imaginary foul from the defender…

Andre Gray's first touch would have gone out for a goal kick.

Vydra’s miss was worse than I thought. Weak side foot effort. If he’d put his laces through that it’s a certain goal.

He showed real quality in the touch he took to create the chance, and I thought he should have gone the other side of the keeper, but you have to put that down to a good save rather than a miss.

[AfloatinClaret]

I'd agree with this but...
I too have been a great supporter of Vyds and been disappointed by how little 'game time' he's been given during his time here; I've also been one of those who've attributed his weakness in finishing too this lack of game time. However, I have of late begun to concede that I've perhaps had it arse about face - which is why SD & his coaching team select players not me - and that the reason Vyds has never been getting picked is that he just can't score goals; yes, he's far and away better than Ashley Barnes and indeed Jay Rod at creating the chances, but for whatever reason, he can't turn those chances into goals and in the final analysis, a player creating creating ten chances a season and converting half of them, is better than someone creating twenty but and converting only one in ten. I've reached the point where I'm no longer bothered that Vyds is leaving at the end of the season.

[fidelcastro]

He scuffed his shot, which made it much easier for the keeper. Therefore it was a bad miss.

[Spijed]

Regarding the Newcastle game Shearer wasn't particularly complimentary regarding Howe's defensive skills was he?

Saying they were great going forward, but didn't have a clue how(e) to defend.

Where have we seen that before?

TBF after our defensive display yesterday we're hardly in a position to slate other teams defending are we.

Saw a defensive display on the Turf yesterday just as bad.

Howe has been in the job one week, get a grip.

What did you hear Shearer say specifically about Howe's defensive skills?

[Jakubclaret]

He scuffed his shot, which made it much easier for the keeper. Therefore it was a bad miss.

It's not a miss despite the poor execution if guiata leaves it it's a goal, vydra just made it easier than it should have been by the contact.

What a silly comment. Why would Guaita just "leave it"?

[JarrowClaret]

I don’t think Sheraer was critical of Howe per say he was critical of Newcastles defending full stop. Maybe 1 or 2 putting 2 and 2 together and comping with a random number. He did say that he has a lot of hard work to get them more solid at the back.

For what it is worth I think Eddie will be a decent fit for them they seem to like high scoring games.

[Jakubclaret]

What a silly comment. Why would Guita just "leave it"?

Because he had to because it was goal bound because it wasn't missed it was on target just poorly directed without sufficient power. A miss is when you don't make the goalkeeper do anything guiata had to do something to stop a certain goal.

Or you disagreeing with facts, none so blind that them that refuse to see or something along them lines as the old saying goes.

Not at all. A wasted chance can usually be seen as a good save or a bad miss. In this case (Vydra), it has to be seen as the latter because he simply scuffed it.

[Rowls]

Watching on catch up and am wetting myself at Joelinton's impression of Devon Loch yesterday.

[NewClaret]

He showed real quality in the touch he took to create the chance, and I thought he should have gone the other side of the keeper, but you have to put that down to a good save rather than a miss.

The keeper did make the save but Vydra put it within a yard of him; you’d expect any PL level keeper to make the save so close to his starting position when there was no power on the shot. I think he was trying to bend it around the keeper and just miss hit it, unfortunately.

[Iloveyoubrady]
